Abstract
Uncontrolled bleeding is one of the leading causes of human mortality. Existing hemostatic materials or techniques cannot meet the clinical requirements for safe and effective hemostasis. The development of novel hemostatic materials has always been of great interest. Chitosan hydrochloride (CSH), a derivative of chitin, is extensively used on wounds as an antibacterial and hemostatic agent. However, the formation of intra- or intermolecular hydrogen bonds between hydroxyl and amino groups limits its water solubility and dissolution rate and affects its effectiveness in promoting coagulation. Herein, we covalently grafted aminocaproic acid (AA) to the hydroxyl and amino groups of CSH via ester and amide bonds, respectively. The solubility of CSH in water (25 °C) was 11.39 ± 0.98 % (w/v), whereas the AA-grafted CSH (CSH-AA) reached 32.34 ± 1.23 % (w/v). Moreover, the dissolution rate of CSH-AA in water was 6.46 times higher than that of CSH. Subsequent studies proved that CSH-AA is non-toxic, biodegradable, and has superior antibacterial and hemostatic properties to CSH. Additionally, anti-plasmin activity can be exerted by the dissociated AA from the CSH-AA backbone, which can help to lessen secondary bleeding.

Abstract
Biomass-originated materials are the future's next-tier polymers. This work suggests improving mechanical and barrier properties of nature-sourced polymers using non-covalent supramolecular interactions. Polysaccharide chitosan is modified with amino acids via an esterification pathway using a systematic variation of hydrogen bond and aromatic domains (Degrees of substitution 12-49%). These controlled modifications improve stability due to non-covalent interactions, resulting in biopolymers with tailored thermal (decomposition temperature 232-275 °C), mechanical (Young's modulus 540-2667 MPa), and surface properties (roughness 4-40 nm). Chitosan and natural amino acids that are already manufactured at scale are purposely selected. The facile synthesis, controlled properties, stimuli-responsive potential, and inexhaustible origin of the raw materials provide the presented findings with the potential to become the method for the formation of high-performance biodegradable alternatives to petroleum-based polymers that can be used in packaging, food, agriculture, and medicine.

Abstract
The alkaline milieu of chronic wounds severely impairs the therapeutic effect of antibiotics, such as rifampicin; as such, the development of new drugs, or the smart delivery of existing drugs, is required. Herein, two innovative polyelectrolyte nanoparticles (PENs), composed of an amphiphilic chitosan core and a polycationic shell, were synthesized at alkaline pH, and in vitro performances were assessed by 1H NMR, elemental analysis, FT-IR, XRD, DSC, DLS, SEM, TEM, UV/Vis spectrophotometry, and HPLC. According to the results, the nanostructures exhibited different morphologies but similar physicochemical properties and release profiles. It was also hypothesized that the simultaneous use of the nanosystem and an antioxidant could be therapeutically beneficial. Therefore, the simultaneous effects of ascorbic acid and PENs were evaluated on the release profile and degradation of rifampicin, in which the results confirmed their synergistic protective effect at pH 8.5, as opposed to pH 7.4. Overall, this study highlighted the benefits of nanoparticulate development in the presence of antioxidants, at alkaline pH, as an efficient approach for decreasing rifampicin degradation.
